***** IMPORTANT *****
This is a demo package of products from TaxWare specially
prepared for use with GRAB Plus and WinGRAB. In order to avoid a
conflict with another demo included with the same name
"DOWNLOAD.EXE", we have renamed this packages DOWNLOAD.EXE
program to LOGODEMO.EXE. All referenced in this documentation
file to DOWNLOAD actually refer to LOGODEMO.EXE.
***** *****
We have created a DOS batch file for use in testing this package.
The file is DEMO.BAT and will load two logos to your LaserJet
printer for evaluation. We have also included a style sheet
named LOGODEMO.STL for using the included batch file and logos.
Registered users of the GRAB Plus and WinGRAB package will find a
coupon for a one third discount on the software package that
includes the programs to convert PXC and TIF graphic images to
Hewlett Packard PCL macro files. Two sample files have been
included in this package for your testing. They will both print
using the batch file to load them into your printer and the
sample style sheet for GRAB and WinGRAB.
DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are utilities used to download and unload
soft fonts and graphic macros to/from the printer memory of HP
LaserJet (and compatible) printers. DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD are
generally included as supplemental utilities with other
shareware and commercial software from TaxWare.
***** GRAB Plus/WinGRAB *****
The versions of DOWNLOAD and UNLOAD included with GRAB Plus are
customized for distribution with Paul Mayer's GRAB Plus and
WinGRAB programs. They are included to demonstrate how logos and
other graphic information can be printed on envelopes via GRAB
Plus/WinGRAB. The version of DOWNLOAD included with GRAB Plus
is functional only with the *.PCL LaserJet graphics files
included. The graphics files were converted from PCX and/or TIF
format to the LaserJet PCL format using TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL, a
software package available from TaxWare (see details below).
The original (PCX and TIF format) graphics were created by Paint
programs and scanners. The TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL package of
conversion utilities also includes the non-demo version of
DOWNLOAD. With TIF2PCL/PCX2PCL you can convert and download
your own logo or other graphic, and print it using GRAB. If you
wish to use your logo or graphic with GRAB, but need it scanned,
please request information from TaxWare about their scanning
service.
***** DOWNLOAD *****
DOWNLOADing a soft font file or graphic macro to the printer's
memory allows you to access the same from within your software.
Refer to your printer manual or software reference manual to
determine how to access downloaded fonts and macros from within
your software.

***** UNLOAD *****
UNLOADing a font or a graphic macro from the printer memory frees
the memory taken up by the font or the graphic macro. Fonts and
graphic macros which you have downloaded should be unloaded from
the printer's memory when you no longer need them, thereby
allowing the printer memory to be free for other work.
Usage
For UNLOAD, the following screen (or a similar screen) will
appear:
Usage: UNLOAD /M# [/1 or /2 or /3]
UNLOAD /I# [/1 or /2 or /3]

from the printer's memory.

in conjunction with GRAB.
